Welcome to the Peaceful Paws Family!
This unique family style dog care is a safe, warm, and peaceful place for your aging dog to come spend his/her days while you are at work or play. We specialize in caring for your older dog who prefers a more relaxed environment.

Our Home:
Leaving the comforts of home and routine can add stress to an aging dog. Our home dog daycare is their home away from home. Your dog is free to roam our first floor living spaces and fenced in yard. We do not use kennels or crates as your do will be like one of the family.
We have two living spaces on the first floor for your dog to enjoy. "Kerry's House" is an open space living room with a couch for pet lounging, pet beds, a bright open kitchen and two boys (ages 9 & 13) ready for snuggles and belly rubs. "Kathy & Mike's house" is a separate living space perfect for dogs who are in need of a break, rest, quiet care, recovery from injury/surgery or who want to nap at the foot of a loving grandparent. Its really quite relaxing over there!
The fenced in yard has room to run around or walk. Dogs are welcome to dig, play, or lay in the sun or shade! We have a ramp on the stairs for dogs who have a hard time going over stairs. Your dog will go outside as much or as little as they want. Social time and exercise (to their ability) is great for all dogs of any age.

Daycare:
We only take up to 4 adult/senior day care dogs each day (plus our own 10 yr. old Australian Shepherd, Starla) to keep the "pack" small and the attention abundant! As much as we adore puppies and young playful dogs, we understand that older dogs may have less tolerance or energy for their spunky behaviors; this is why at Peaceful Paws is a place for dogs in those wonderful golden years of life! That being said, we also know that golden years does not mean they will be napping all day! We will play with your dog how ever he/she enjoys. Playing ball, digging, belly rubs, walks in our quiet lakeside neighborhood, plus a few dog buddies to hang out with will make a fun day for him/her.

Personal Pet Care Plan:
We will sit down with you and go over all your dogs needs for care. This includes: medications/supplements to be administered, food, allergies, restrictions, your vet information, and instructions on general care/emergency care.
